Valerie Parker in the Boston Globe! "A fashionable mix of green living and high style"

Fashion doesn't have to be all about looking good. It can be about feeling good.

She aims to prove it with a "Fashionably Fair Runway Show" at the fifth annual New… Continue

Role Play of Trouble Maker characters

I was recently hired by a Consulting Company doing research screening studies for the Police Department. They reviewed my neactor page information, contacted me and asked me to perform as a "role play actor". I had to portray a troubled character for a series of tests, interviews and evaluation of candidates to be hired as police officers.

In our actor's journey, one will never, ever know what the next job will be like.

I am grateful to our dear friend and talented colleague… Continue

Hello Great Actors and Film Makers

I am excited about my new film coming out soon. The Kingsmens Redeemer. It could be one of the best projects I have or will work on. Fantastic crew, great director, excellent actors, and the most incredible script I have ever read. But then, I am biased. You be the judge. Check out the trailer at www.kingsmensredeemer.com.

Thanks,

Dave Damon

A Matter Of Interpretation

Publication: Adweek

Date: Monday, December 13 1999

Spanish interpreter Nicolas Villamizar is on a mission.

Every day, Villamizar said, he encounters ads improperly translated into Spanish. "It seems like there is an apathy, and it really hurts," he said. "I feel like I have a civic duty to make things clear."

Synopsis:

On August 2, 1947, an airliner took off from Buenos Aires for Santiago, Chile. It never arrived. Then in 1998, two mountaineers stumbled across a huge engine on the Tupangato glacier in the Andes. Despite thorough previous searches of the glacier, no wreckage had been sighted. The Argentine army led an expedition to the crash site, and, after extensive detective work, reconstructed the plane's final minutes and identified human remains. Finally, they came up with a surprising… Continue

Those kids are pretty darned talented

Tonight I attended the Redstone Film Festival hosted by Boston University and (as summed up by The Boston Phoenix) "Sponsored by Boston native [Viacome CEO] Sumner Redstone, the festival is considered the BU Film and Television Department’s signature event, providing a showcase for work by the school’s student filmmakers."

My initial reason for going was self-serving, I was in one of the films nominated ("A Simple Taste"); however, the 29-year-old festival was bolstering in a way I… Continue

Galileo goes to Washington (and Baltimore)

I just got back from performing my Galileo Galilei the Starry Messenger at the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University. It was a family event for middle school students interested in science and technology. We had a very good audience with lots of questions for Galileo. Before visiting STScI, I visited a school in the DC area and stopped in DC for a look.

The inauguration took quite a toll on the… Continue

Movie Reviews (my opinion)

I've been seeing the movies nominated for SAG awards. By the way if SAG members want to see free films here's what I do:

I show them my SAG card, if they question it I mention that I vote in the SAG awards. One theatre mentioned they had not yet received nomination info so I showed them my nomination sheet and they said, "fine". Not all theatres accept the card, it's totally up to their discretion. Don't make a fuss, and plan to pay if the card is not accepted. This year I have been… Continue
